All my equipment is Stihl or Husky but my brother asked me to repair his Craftsman hedge trimmer for him. I need to replace the gas lines after finding the filter bouncing around the tank with rotted lines. Problem is I cannot feed the lines through the holes in the tank. I have the correct size lines and have tried oiling the openings, using a needlenose pliers, and just plain old twisting and turning to no avail. Can I heat them a bit or is there some trick to doing this? It seems that they make the holes in the tank a bit smaller to prevent gas seepage.
Thanks for any help offered.
